New direction needed at DNR Dick Ellis Candidate for governor Tim Michels indicated in October that if elected he would break up the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to serve 1) business and 2 ) the hunting and fishing, or sporting community. “It’s not my opinion that the DNR is broken,” Michels said. “It’s what I hear everywhere I go.” Better days.

Special FAQ: Youth hunt & blaze orange, tags

October 4, 2012

By: Bureau of Law Enforcement

Here are answers to some of the recent most frequently asked law enforcement questions taken by the DNR Call Center. The Call Center is staffed daily, 7 a.m. - 10 p.m., and offers bilingual service in Spanish and Hmong. The number is 1-888-936-7463.

Question 1: How does the October 6 and 7 statewide youth gun-deer hunt affect all other hunters?

Answer: That’s a good question. The statewide youth hunt is for hunting deer with firearms. Gun-deer hunting, as you know, carries with it the blaze orange regulation which requires all hunters’ outer clothing above the waist and a hat, if worn, to be at least 50% blaze orange. This rule applies to all hunters, except the waterfowl hunters, no matter what game you are hunting. Again, the reason is that the youth hunt is a statewide gun-deer hunt. Starting October 8 the blaze orange regulation no longer applies until the statewide gun deer season on November 17 – unless hunting on lands where a special disabled gun-deer hunt is occurring.

Question 2: I am 18+ and have my hunter’s certification. Can the youth hunter who I am supervising fill my Gun Deer Tags during the Youth hunt?

Answer: Sorry to tell you the answer is no. In order to be legal under the Group Hunting Law, you must be able to actively participate in a given Gun Deer Hunt. This means for the youth hunt you must be of correct age (10-15) in order to participate. A person over the age of 15 has no authority to Group Hunt or harvest/tag/register a deer under the authority of their Gun Deer License during the scheduled Youth Deer Hunt.
